The Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 C Sonnar T* ZM Lens is a fast, bright lens that offers well controlled distortion and produces a very accurate representation of objects. The C in its name stands for Compact, and this lens is not much bigger or heavier than the slower 50mm f/2 lens in this same range. It is a very versatile lens for photo-journalistic work in general and for available light photography in particular.
The Carl Zeiss range of T* ZM-mount lenses offers high standards in terms of performance, reliability and, of course, image quality. You can count on highly advanced flare control for crisp and brilliant images, and virtually zero geometric distortion that ensures precise accuracy when reproducing shapes, especially useful when photographing products and architecture.
- Compatible with the Ikon rangefinder camera, or with any camera using the Leica M mount
- Improved resistance to flaring
- 1/3 stop interval click stops allows for exact exposure
- Precise 10-bladed aperture creates pleasing unfocused highlights

Comments about Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 ZM Lens - Silver:
i use this lens on both leica film cameras and on a Sony NEX-5 for digital. It is very well built and very versatile. I love the 1.5 aperture for portraits and I find the bokeh very pleasing. Some do not like the style of the photos generated by this lens, but I do very much. On the Sony, it is a joy to use and very easy to manually focus with the focus peaking feature and manual assist. it takes 46mm filters so you may have to get a new size if your other leica lenses are 39mm.

Comments about Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 ZM Lens - Silver:
The Zeiss 50mm Sonnar is a great lens for everyday shooting, especially if you value solid construction and superb results. The focus ring is smooth and responsive. The image quality is excellent. My only issue is with the cost of the hood for this lens, which was not included.
